Lubuntu is already pretty lightweight but still comes with a lot of applications i don't need. I need a machine that is pretty clean, with just the bare bones with GUI capabilities. Start with netinstall iso , do text based install with minimal options, then do: $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt upgrade $ sudo tasksel install lubuntu-core $ sudo reboot Add browser, I like Chromium, install it like: $ sudo apt install chromium-browser Light Docker Settings is not working on using light install, so let us fix it, do: $ sudo apt install python-gi I like "Customize Look and Feel" (lxappearance) for adjusting LXDE, to install, do: $ sudo apt install lxappearance Additional packages to install, do: $ sudo apt install xfonts-terminus
